About
Harrison M. Harket is a leading researcher in the neurobiology of motor learning and aging, with a focus on how older adults adapt and generalize movements across different walking contexts. His most-cited work, "Older adults generalize their movements across walking contexts more than young during gradual and abrupt split-belt walking" (2021, 4 citations), challenges conventional assumptions by demonstrating that healthy aging can enhance the transfer of learned motor skills to novel environments. This finding has significant implications for rehabilitation, suggesting that older adults may leverage broader generalization strategies to compensate for age-related declines in motor control. Harket’s research bridges fundamental neuroscience and applied gerontology, offering insights into how training protocols can be optimized for fall prevention and mobility preservation in aging populations. His work is increasingly recognized for its potential to inform adaptive rehabilitation technologies, and he continues to explore the neural mechanisms underlying context-dependent motor learning.
